A.   An order for genetic testing is enforceable by contempt.

B.   If a person whose paternity is being determined declines to submit to genetic testing ordered by the district court, the district court for that reason may adjudicate parentage contrary to the position of the person who declines.

C.   Genetic testing of the mother of a child is not a condition precedent to testing the child and a man whose paternity is being determined.  If the mother is unavailable or declines to submit to genetic testing, the district court may order the testing of the child and every man whose paternity is being adjudicated.
